Fig. 1. The bullet-rosette (left) is a common form of ice crystals found in cirrus clouds. Optical properties of such particles are important for the radiative transfer in the atmosphere. However, their nonsphericity makes it difficult to calculate these properties. In a concise review, starting with Scattering calculations ..., Baran AJ and Mitchell DL discuss the merits and applicability ranges of key methods of calculating light scattering by nonspherical and/or inhomogeneous particles.
